'The Flash': Barry's Secret Revealed to SPOILER

Spoilers ahead for "Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash," tonight's episode of The Flash.

While Barry Allen would not give up his secret identity in court to avoid a wrongful conviction, the superhero known as The Flash inadvertently revealed his true identity in tonight's episode in order to help a wrongfully-convicted friend.

After having befriended Big Sir last episode, Barry this week learned that the man had been wrongly convicted of the crime that put him in jail -- the murder of a security guard during a botched robbery fifteen years ago.

Barry contacted Team Flash, who set to work trying to find exonerating evidence. What they found, instead, was the likely identity of the perpetrator -- but despite their best efforts, they were unable to secure a confession, without which it would be functionally impossible to reverse a verdict on a years-old case where all the forensic evidence was long gone.

With no road to giving his friend a fresh start, Barry times out what he needs to do: once the rotating security camera turns away from him, Barry uses his super-speed to vibrare through the bars, grab Big Sir, and deposit him to a small, mountain community in China where he had said he would go if he ever got out of jail.

The camera, of course, caught Barry's super-speed antics and Wolf now knows that Barry is The Flash.

That Barry could have left at any time, and did not, does not seem to faze him; rather, he immediately takes action to contain the "threat" of a metahuman convict in Iron Heights.

The episode ends with Wolfe drugging Barry and then having him dragged into a power-dampening cell not unlike the ones Cisco has at STAR Labs. He calls Amunet Black and offers Barry up as a potential new recruit for her underground metahuman fight club.
